Step 10: Attaching the arm + side support

Step 11: Finished!

Here the instructions for the new lift in my knex ball machine Dragonfire.
I have changed the lift a little bit, more exactly the entrance.
In the vid of Dragonfire, you can see that there are several balls rolling to the arm at the same time, but the arm can lift only one ball at time, that's why there is an extra path (path 4).
In this new version there is another way to bring the ball to the entrance of the arm.
Now only one ball can roll to the arm, and not two (or more) at the same time.
Much better!

Step 6: The arm: Middle part

Step 7: The arm: Entrance

Step 8: The arm: Exit

Step 9: Completing the arm

Step 10: Attaching the arm + side support

Step 11: Finished!

You're done!
Thanks for building my lift. (or watching the ible only)
When you have used it in your ball machine, just give me some credit and let me now.
Then I'll add a photo of your Spinning Freefall Lift to this step!

Yes it's necessary but you could use another gear combination. But I'm not sure if that would work. This combination has just the best rotation speed cause if it turns to slow or to fast it won't work anymore.
